Inner Law Found in the Temple
2 Kings 22:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
2 Kings 22:8 shows Hilkiah the high priest finding the Book of the Law in the temple and handing it to Shaphan the scribe, who reads it aloud.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the allegory, the temple is your waking state of consciousness; the Book of the Law is the inner ordinance of God—truth, order, and loyalty—not written on parchment but impressed upon the soul. Hilkiah is your higher state of awareness that notices there exists a law beyond the appearances. By handing the book to Shaphan, the scribe of your attention, you begin to read with focus. Reading here is not merely intellect; it is listening to the I AM within and letting that inner Word guide thought and feeling. When you assume the reality of this inner text, the outer world rearranges to reflect it. The discovery awakens a covenant: you are bound to truth, fidelity, and your divine nature. The act of reading dims fear, clarifies purpose, and invites steadfastness. The temple becomes a library of consciousness, where every inner reading renews your loyalty to the timeless law that never left you—only waited for your attention to return.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and, with your hand on your chest, assume you have found the inner Book of the Law within you. Speak softly, 'I AM the reader of my inner law,' and feel the guidance flow into present decisions.
